So, doctor appointment today. It went well. He used the word perfect even. To quote: "Everything is perfect" Can you ask for anything more? Let me see if I can remember everything, seems like we saw/learned a lot.
So we had an ultrasound. Still two girls. lol. They are both head down, which is good. Baby 'A' has been head down the entire time.
Our due date is back to Feb. 14. They both weigh 2.3lbs, but he said that up to week thirty every baby pretty much weighs the same. After week 30 is when genetics and everything kick in to see how big the babies will get. Keeping in mind of course that they are twins :-) Their feet are about an inch long. Baby 'B' definitely found some more room. She is kicking all over the place and she actually has some room to move now. Baby B has a fat little face :-) We saw her sucking on her fingers too. It was precious! They both have hair too! We saw it. Baby A's head is like down in my pelvis, kind of stuck but not in a bad way. That is just where she is. I don't have diabetes which is AWESOME. And I don't have to worry about the RH Factor stuff. It's hard to explain but you can google it and find out all about it. It has to do with your blood type, but my blood type is all good. My blood is A positive. I had to have some blood work done today, and I found out about some blood work I had done back in March with the fertility clinic. I need to get the German measles shot, and the MMR shot when I am no longer pregnant. I am 'at risk' if I were to be exposed. He didn't seem too worried about it though. He talked to me a lot about contractions and stuff. He said I am definitely at risk to go into pre-term labor because it is twins, so he wanted to make sure I knew what to look for. Which I really don't considering I've never felt a contraction before, so how do I know if I am having contractions?
So all in all, everything is wonderful. He said I am looking really great too. In terms of my size and my comfort level.
I have gained 28lbs so far.
We really got some good views of them. Especially their little faces! I love looking at their faces. It's really quite surreal.
I love the ultrasounds. I probably won't have another one for a month when I go back to see the actual OB. It's hard to believe that some women don't have ultrasounds at all, or maybe only one. I've had so many. I am glad too, it's really helped me to not be so worried all the time.
The doc asked us if we had names picked out, and we told him we weren't going to decide until we see them. He said "That is a good idea, you have 30 days after they are born to name them" lol. He said you don't get the birth certificate at the hospital any more, you just fill out the paper work and send it to the state (with a fee) and then they send you the certificate. I said, "Well I hope it doesn't take us that long!"
So I guess that is the update. It's getting so close I can't believe it!
